To ensure your journey is as smooth as possible, and to avoid any extra charges at the airport, please follow the guidelines below.

Our fly fares do not include a free hold bag allowance, but you can purchase this prior to your flight by using the Manage Booking facility on our website.

If you have purchased a fly+ fare, you will be able to check-in one bag up to 25kg for free at our Bag Drop counter. You can also purchase additional pieces of hold baggage through our Manage Booking facility before your flight.

If you know you need to carry more luggage than included in your allowance, please add extra luggage via our Manage Booking facility before you fly. It will cost A LOT more to pay for extra baggage at the airport. Avoid unnecessary stress to your journey and your wallet!

Collecting your Hold Baggage

On arrival, please ensure you take the correct bag from the baggage carousel. Do check your bag before you leave the baggage hall as someone else may have a similar bag.

If you receive your bag in damaged condition, or if it doesn’t arrive at the carousel, you must go to the baggage counter and report the damage or loss and receive a ‘Passenger Irregularity Form’ (known as a PIR). This form can only be provided in the baggage hall. It’s not possible to get a copy after you leave. Without a completed PIR form we will be unable to process any claims.
